I'll rewrite my bootloader config soon. Today I discovered that for current kernel releases only 'mitigations=off' is needed to disable mitigations.
Since I don't need audit, I started to build my kernels with audit not set again.
What is the content of your files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/ with and without mitigations disabled?

For my machine it's probably not worth the hassle, so I'm not in a hurry to rewrite the bootloader config. For one entry I tested turning off mitigations, but I did not check, if it makes a difference related to audio performance.
